Week Five in Ragnarok: The New World — August 13–16 Archive

This page archives week five habits (centered on August 16 last-day deadlines). For current progression as of August 21, read Week Seven Guide.

SEA live service reached day 32 on August 16, 2026. Version 2.0.4 remained the client with Druid, World Catch, and BABYMONSTER assets. Steam stayed delayed during review. Mentor of the Wilds remained closed (ended August 6).

August 16 was the last day for BABYMONSTER login cosmetics and Creator Challenge Phase 2 videos. The next calendar shift was Monday Siege War (17 August) and the rolling Prelude to the Peak chapter.

Older archives: Week Four, Week Three.

1. Log in on your main character for Cosmic Monster costume, Sailwave Rhythm frame, and Monster Rookie title — BABYMONSTER Collaboration.
2. Redeem BABYMONSTER plus ROWGO1ST and any leftover launch strings — How to Redeem.
3. Publish a qualifying Creator Challenge video with required hashtags if you still want contest mail — Creator Challenge.
4. Claim Pioneer flags and Event-tab calendars — Pioneer itself runs through September 16.

Full table: August Deadlines.

Core order from Daily Priority still holds; week five added castle night and branch gear:

1. Login + Event tab — last BABYMONSTER check, Pioneer mail, codes.
2. MVP after reset — MVP Hunt Priority.
3. Combat Energy on Recommended targets — Energy System.
4. Time Corridor ×3 plus Time Echoes if your party is farming Halloween Horror / Pumpkin Parade.
5. Weekly Endless Tower + Brave Trial — Endless Tower.
6. Monday Siege War — guild Lv.3, 13 Prontera castles, climb Tier 3 first — Siege War.
7. Offline auto-hunt after Energy empties — Offline Auto-Hunt.

Publisher previews for Prelude to the Peak treated Crusader, Monk/Champion, Lv.75 Shadow Gear, and Siege as the August chapter. Prepare on one character via Job Freedom:

• Crusader Build — Holy frontliner for castle nights; do not split refine off your farmer weapon until +12 is stable.
• Monk / Champion and Champion Tank — Asura burst versus VIT-90 combo tank for Time Echoes.
• Lv.75 Shadow Gear — start emptying Time Corridor and weekly tokens into Shadow slots and Final Mirage materials.

Keep the main weapon at +12 with Resonance Level 2 armor — Safe Refinement.

• The August 16 countdown became a same-day deadline, not a three-day warning.
• Siege War had a published weekly window: Monday 21:00–22:00 WIB, 13 castles, guild level 3, new servers after ~21 days.
• Wiki pages covered Crusader, Time Echoes, Champion Tank, and Lv.75 Shadow Gear.
• Week four habits (Mentor closed, +12 refine, Shadow farming) stayed the baseline.
• Steam delay was unchanged — do not pause progression waiting for the store page.
